The former Stanford baller hops on to talk about her podcast Sometimes I Hoop, her transition to the WNBA, and what she’s looking forward to in this women’s college season. She also looks back on her success at Stanford, winning Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, and how it prepped her for the W. Tune in!

@ Knuckleheads. Yall are fumbling the bag!!!!! Yall could easily have a stranglehold on top spot in basketball pods with any consistency to the episodes. At least one a week. Yall allowed others pods to catch up to yall when you could have pulled out miles ahead. Im saying this as a big supporter ( besides the girl episodes) just telling you what the people want and what could have been.

[@TLewis352]

One Of The FEW Pods That Are Highlighting The Young Up And Coming Womens Hoopers, Love It!

[@AnthonySmith-rs4me]
